Kitten (4 months 17 days) · Male · Domestic Medium Hair / Bombay / Mixed (medium coat) · 27 mi from Rock Hill






Meet Golden Snitch!Four months old. Professional cuddler. Former roadside fugitive.G Snitch wasn’t exactly looking for a home when he was found. He was a small feral kitten found in the middle of a busy road, and thankfully someone decided his tiny life was worth stopping for.(Yep, that’s me - his foster mom!I knew he was he was special when I looked down at him on the road, and he looked into my eyes and, I mean, deep into my eyes!)At first, G Snitch wasn’t convinced this whole “human” thing was going to work out.In fact, it took 19 DAYS before he finally purred.NINETEEN. DAYS. (My 8-year-old daughter got the first purr)But once he figured out that humans could mean soft beds, a full belly, gentle scratches, cuddles, and feeling safe...

8. Main
Kitten · Female · Domestic Medium Hair / Mixed (long coat) · 44 mi from Rock Hill




From her foster "MEET MAIN — A LITTLE MAMA WHO DESERVES A MAIN STREET OF HER OWN!Her name is Main. Her story started on Main Street. But the place she belongs is in YOUR heart. Beautiful MAIN is a young black-and-white, medium-haired kitty who was found on Main Street in Wilkesboro with her two kittens.And this wasn't a family we could simply leave to fend for themselves. They were holding up along a very busy section of Main Street, putting this little mama and her babies in tremendous danger. So Main and her kittens became a rescue priority.But here's the thing about Main…SHE WAS BARELY MORE THAN A KITTEN HERSELF.
Read more about Main
This young girl had already become a mother before she had really gotten the chance to be a baby. When Main first entered rescue, she was painfully thin. Fortunately, this little girl has discovered one of life's greatest pleasures: FOOD! Main has a wonderfully healthy appetite and is steadily putting on the weight she desperately needed. With regular meals, safety and plenty of love, she's beginning to show us who she really is. And WHO SHE IS… is pretty darn wonderful. Main is EXTREMELY SWEET and affectionate. She has a lovely, gentle disposition and genuinely enjoys being around people. But don't let her mama status fool you—she's still a young kitty herself! She loves to play with toys and is ready to experience all the fun things she missed while growing up far too quickly.Now her kittens are vetted. Main is vetted. And this little family is ready for their next chapter. MAIN IS FULLY VETTED: Spayed Distemper vaccinated Rabies vaccinated FeLV/FIV negative Microchipped Treated for fleas Treated for intestinal parasites Main would be a wonderful addition to so many different kinds of homes. She would likely be happy in a home with children and/or other cats, but she could also be perfectly content being the only kitty in an adult-only home. After everything this little girl has been through, what she deserves now is simple:A safe home. A full food bowl. A few toys. A soft place to sleep. And someone who will love her for the sweet, beautiful girl she is. From a dangerous stretch of Main Street Wilkesboro…to the safety of rescue…NOW MAIN IS LOOKING FOR THE STREET SHE'LL NEVER HAVE TO LEAVE — HER FOREVER HOME."Kittens may appear older in person, pictures are typically updated monthly

6 Months · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 50 mi from Rock Hill



Hi, I’m Gonzo —and if you’re looking for a kitten who has never met a stranger, congratulations, you found me!
I was left in a crate on the curb outside a pet store with my siblings, Fozzie Bear and Kermit, but thankfully we ended up somewhere that showed us just how wonderful people can be.
I absolutely love people and will happily accept all the pets, cuddles, and attention you’re willing to give me. I’m also a high-energy little guy who loves to play, so there’s never a dull moment when I’m around!

Because I’m such a social boy, I’d do best with another kitty friend in my forever home. I need someone who can keep up with my playful antics when my humans need a break.
If you’re looking for a friendly, affectionate, high-energy kitten who thinks everyone is his new best friend, I’m your Gonzo!

15. Bruce Wayne
2 Months 26 Days · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 50 mi from Rock Hill







Identity: Bruce Wayne (Don't tell the Joker!)
Status: Seeking permanent Bat Cave.
By day I'm a charming, sleek black kitten enjoying the finer things - like high end wet food, deluxe catio with panoramic views and sprawling across a warm lap. But by night, I protect the bedroom from the laser light, crumpled paper, and the unsuspecting bug.
Read more about Bruce Wayne
Unlike the Dark Knight, I'm not a loner. I'm affectionate and vocal for wet food, snuggles and your company. My purr engine works great against your warm body during naps and nighttime. I'm ready to find my permanent sidekick (or two) to share life! I'm accustomed to wearing my cowl (metaphorically speaking) and ready to bring peace, justice, and lots of cuddles to your home. ❤️
Ideal Batcave: Somewhere with plenty of high perches to survey the city, steady supply of treats, and humans that will love me forever.

Hey there, I’m Pinecone! Think of me as the deluxe, extra-large edition of my buddy GOAT!
I’m a playful, attention-loving guy who believes laps were invented specifically for me. If you’re sitting down, I’m sitting on you. If you’re offering affection, I’m accepting it. And if you have treats? Well, those are MINE, thank you very much! I may offer a tiny protest if someone tries to steal my snacks. A guy has to have standards!
I love playing, soaking up attention, and cuddling with my favorite humans. I’ve got a big personality to match my size, and I’m always ready to bring some fun into your day.

17. Goat
6 Months · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 50 mi from Rock Hill


Hey, I’m GOAT — Greatest Of All Tuxedos!
I’m a guy who can’t decide whether I want to play with you or demand affection, so naturally, I choose BOTH! I love wrestling with my kitten siblings, chasing toys, and having a grand old time. Sometimes the bigger cats steal my toys, but I’m a gentleman and don’t make a fuss.
I’m a good eater, a reliable litter box user, and I take my nightly treats VERY seriously. But my favorite time of day might just be bedtime. If you’re holding a book or phone, prepare for me to wedge myself directly between you and it. Your screen time is over, human. It’s GOAT time!

Once I’ve successfully claimed your attention, I’ll snuggle up beside you like the sweet little lovebug I am.
If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate tuxedo kitten who doubles as a personal cuddle assistant and professional distraction, I’m your GOAT! ❤️

19. Dangle
4 Years · Male · Domestic Long Hair · 50 mi from Rock Hill


Hi, I’m Dangle —a distinguished gentleman who was found wandering the dorms of Shaw AFB, apparently after a long and successful career in outdoor exploration.
After living the outdoor life, I’ve made an important discovery: people, dogs, and other cats are actually pretty fantastic! Honestly, I should’ve tried indoor living sooner.
These days, I specialize in the finer things—cozy naps, getting attention, and keeping a very close eye on the dinner schedule. I may look distinguished, but make no mistake: when it’s time to eat, I will absolutely be your most dedicated alarm clock.
Read more about Dangle
I also have a playful side that occasionally appears when the mood strikes. Because even distinguished gentlemen need to cut loose every now and then.
If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate guy with excellent manners, a playful streak, and very strong opinions about dinner, I’m your Dangle!

22. Waffle Fry
4 Months 12 Days · Male · Domestic Short Hair · 50 mi from Rock Hill





Hi, I’m Waffle Fry —and just like my brother Spicy Chicken Nugget, I started out with a little more seasoning than necessary.
I was found and brought in by my colony caretaker alongside my brother, and while he was busy being a tiny 1-pound ball of anger, I was also learning that humans weren’t so bad after all.
These days, we’re both much less spicy and much more sweet and snackable. I’m still a little cautious around loud noises and fast movements, but I’m learning to trust and enjoy the good life.
Read more about Waffle Fry
And just like my brother, I’m pretty easily bribed with Churu treats and toys. Honestly, who needs complicated relationship-building techniques when you have snacks?
I may have started out as a little Waffle Fry with some attitude, but now I’m ready to be your sweet, lovable side dish for life.

Adopting a cat in Rock Hill
Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the cat, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your cat in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.
Kittens go quickly, especially in spring and summer. If you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon, and think about adopting two: young cats keep each other company and out of mischief.
